Pumphouse Wash (FR 237) Dispersed Camping Area
Cost: Free
About
Pumphouse Wash (Forest Road 237) is a popular dispersed camping area in the ponderosa pine forest along SR 89A, midway between Flagstaff and Sedona, Arizona. The area is conveniently located near Oak Creek Canyon, Sedona, Flagstaff, Woody Mountain Road, Lake Mary, and a variety of recreation sites. It is a popular alternative to traditional campgrounds for visitors to Oak Creek Canyon and the Flagstaff area.
There are four campsite loops, each containing between 11 and 26 signed and numbered sites. The site offers excellent camping opportunities for large groups as well as families and individuals. Most sites offer partial to full shade beneath towering ponderosa pine trees, and are generally flat, making it easy to set up tents or campers. Each site has parking and a campfire ring. There is no trash service, so if you pack it in, pack it out. There are no restroom facilities. Portable toilets are highly recommended.
FR 237 and the camping loop roads are well maintained and suitable for passenger cars.

Free organized camping. Lots of spots with fire rings. Close together but it wasn't busy at the end of October. Near 89A, long bum...

Currently closed due to bad weather conditions in the winter. Wasn't able to go back and check it out.
